Sirach 24:29

29 Her thoughts are more plentiful than the sea; her counsel is deeper than the great abyss.

Sirach 24:29 In-Context

27 God pours forth understanding like light, as does the Gihon Spring at the time of the grape harvest.
28 The first human didn't know Wisdom completely, and so the last won't probe her fully.
29 Her thoughts are more plentiful than the sea; her counsel is deeper than the great abyss.
30 Like a canal from a river, like an irrigation channel, I went out into a garden.
31 I said, “I'll water my garden, and I'll drench my flower bed. And look! The canal turned into a river for me, and my river turned into a sea.
